Robin Lehner was scratched from Thursday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks and is day to day with an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made his second consecutive start for the Knights on Thursday at T-Mobile Arena, and Oscar Dansk served as the backup for the Knights in the finale of the two-game series.

Forward Tomas Nosek remained the only player from the team included on the NHL’s list of COVID protocol-related absences.

This is the first time a goaltender has started consecutive games for the Knights this season.

Fleury is 5-0 with a 1.80 goals-against average and .920 save percentage.
